Hosting a Website Using FTP
To host a website using FTP:
- Set up your website and gather connection information.
- Connect to your subscription on the server using an FTP client program.
- Upload files and directories to the httpdocs directory.
Once you’ve selected your web host, you’ll need an FTP program like SmartFTP for PC users or Fetch for Mac users to transfer files to the web server. Remember to have your FTP address, username, and password at hand.
